Default Who has a lift in the garage?

I am looking to get one soon as I move into my new home. Anyone have one? I already have a tranny job to do and this would help out a lot.

I believe you can buy a nice 2 or 4 post lift for less than $2500. I had some links somewhere. I'll see if I can find them.

Here's a couple. I don't know how competitive these prices are since I haven't shopped them in a while but I was surprised at how relatively cheap they are for names that I recognized.

I've got a 2 car garage now but want to wait until I can afford a detached 3 bay before I install a lift. I will DEFINITELY let friends know they can use it...for small donations.
